WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

BACON CHEESE POTATOES

¼ pound bacon, diced - I bake it first in the oven so that it is "done" and browned then I dice it and place in the crock pot.

1 small onion, thinly sliced

6 - 8 red potatoes, quartered (thinly sliced if using regular potatoes or if you use a new potato then halve)

½ pound cheddar cheese, thinly sliced (shredded is fine)

salt and pepper

butter

Green Onions (optional)

Instructions

Line crockpot with foil, leaving enough to cover the potatoes when finished - this will help to not stick and to steam the potatoes.

Layer half each of the bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese in crockpot. Season to taste with salt and pepper and dot with (real) butter.

Repeat layers of bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese. Dot with butter.

Cover with remaining foil.

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Notes

Do not use as much onion if using green onions. I only used a ½ an onion.
